RVC Thoughts for the Holidays
As the year draws rapidly to a close, many local groups have their annual, Christmas, or Holiday party now. This is often the best attended event of the year. A great chance to reunite with old friends, meet new ones, and just catch up on all the happenings of the waning year. Please take some time to reflect what a great bunch of people you've met and befriended through Mensa and how you are a better, more complete person for it.
Things are quiet in our region now, so I'll keep this column brief. Cleveland is planning to host a Leadership Development Workshop (LDW), probably in April. All current officers and members who are planning to be officers are strongly encouraged to attend. What we can use is your feedback on what topics you'd like discussed. Some that have been suggested are: How to hold a concise meeting, Encouraging members to participate in events, Civility at events and board meetings, and Getting volunteers for committees and projects. What do you think? As finalizing the topics and then getting presenters takes some time, please get back to me pronto with any topic dear to you.
Barring another snowstorm, I'll be attending an AMC quarterly meeting in January, at Birmingham, Alabama. Much to my consternation, I think I'll have to take an airplane there - my first plane trip in over twenty years. Mercy, mercy. Not that I don't enjoy flying (well I don't), I just can't see forking over hard earned money to be inconvenienced, cramped, and now from what people tell me- starved. Life in the twentieth, oh, twenty-first century. The agenda for the meeting isn't out yet, but at present there aren't any really contentious topics being discussed.
Please accept my wish for a Merry Christmas and a safe, happy holiday season to each of you and your loved ones.
